Vicky Vette Suing AdultFriendFinder

I had seen her post in Twitter about being angry with AFF about using her image, but now she is actively suing the company to have her pictures removed from their site.

Vette sued AdultFriendFinder (& Danni.com) arising out of claims AdultFriendFinder is stealing her likeness to use on thousands of worldwide banners and advertisements identifying her as ’Groovy232′ looking for a ‘date’.
AdultFriendFinder argued in a Motion filed with the Court that the image of Vette it used for banners was shot by Vette for Danni.com & that it got the permission from Danni.com to use her picture.
Vicky Vette is quoted as saying: "I’m thrilled we won this significant ruling & that AdultFriendFinder can’t use model releases to get the case dismissed. I shot for Danni.com to be their Girl of the Month – not to be used as bait in AdultFriendFinder. No, I’m NOT Groovy232…. and no….. I am not in El Paso, Tucson, Santa Clarita or anywhere else seeking a casual fling in your neighborhood (*shock*). It is outrageous that AdultFriendFinder can think it it’s ok to use my image without even letting me know. I think it’s a scam on me & the general public."

I've never read a stupidest defense than this one.
I wanna see The Times with Obama's authorized pic on the cover and the title "Sabrina Deep's Husband: I Like White Chicks"

Vickybabe, NICE ! Just explain them BASTARDS that they cannot do everything they want with your Pic (s) ! Just kick them right into their balls until they feel it !!
 
If the contract she signed with Danni.com says that Danni.com can "sell" the pictures to others, then I'm affraid Vicky won't win on that...

Yep. Unfortunately, this is true. If the contract had anything written in there about them being able to use her photos and likeness for whatever purpose, then she can't sue. It's all in the papers. Gotta read them before signing them. It does suck when people take advantage of girls like that, but... if she signs the papers, then what's done is done.

That's mostly true, but allow me to slightly disagree in this case, Harley: even if you release the photo fully it is still attached to your person as a stage name with your real name behind it. Some girls are so naive not to attach a stage name for one off shootings, but that's a different matter...we're not talking about my butcher's daughetr looking for 100 extra bucks: we are talking of a professional like Vicky is. You release the rights to the shot material related to your image, nothing else. As Vicky sates:

"I’m NOT Groovy232…. and no….. I am not in El Paso, Tucson, Santa Clarita or anywhere else seeking a casual fling in your neighborhood."
That's a mystified use of her image. She clearly says that the problem is not in the image, but in the use of the image. Thing is that AFF can't say Vicky Vette is on AFF and right now she is El Paso looking for a fling with you using her picture because that would be a lie. Therefore they try to use her image and attach it to a fake AFF profile trying to mystify people into believing that Vicky is on AFF as Groovy232 looking for flings: that's a double lie and to me also clearly *******.

It could have imo even more bad implications for AFF because they make clear what we all knew already: those advertisements are a scam and most of those profiles advertised do not exist. I wonder what would happen if a rampant attorney started a class action for false advertising and misleading marketing. I mean...i signup and pay hoping to hook up with Vicky Vette and then it comes out that she is not on AFF and that she didn't even know anything about it.

Thanks for the support guys... and girls... xo

FYI... the Releases they had were actually presented to the court & the court didn't think they were enough (to have the case dismissed)

On a mundane level - AdultFriendFinder could find 1000 girls who be more than happy to get $1000 or less to shoot for them. For a company that's going public (or trying to) I am surprised they cheaped out the girls. I'd also think on a gut level... for the safety of any girl they put on AFF they should tell them 'you are looking for action'. Fans assume either 1. It's true or 2. That girls are moonlighting as escorts.

Not sure if I will ultimately win but they threw some lawyers at me... so I threw mine back.

If you see my pictures on there.. let me know...
OR... if you see other girls or performers on there... let me know...

xo

knows petras secret: she farted.
Post them here... I am sure the girls would love to know.

i don't recall off the top of my head but i do recall jenna hazes pic on some sort of ****** ad. since we has a personable relationship then, i let her know. mostly because i know how much she is against escorting.

she checked it out and told me she had taken those shots for a certain company and unfortunately they had the right to use her image as they willed.

she wasn't very happy about it though.

First off Sabrina Deep's response... Thank you. :clap: :hatsoff:

Yes, Vicky Vette was selected as the August 2006 Miss Danni Girl. That model release would just be for when she posed for Danni Ashe's photographers. But now that Miss Ashe has sold Danni.com to Penthouse and AdultFriendfinder. That is a totally different story. While Vicky's image is in the public domain, to post her likeness at a dating website. which AFF is, is very misleading and is a total misrepresentation of the facts. And that is the gist of the lawsuit.

I hope the judge rules in her favor, that she has a case and she ultimately wins here.


ive seen random stars in similar ads before several times.
Post them here... I am sure the girls would love to know.
Vicky,

As I told you on the VNA board... if I see any more pictures of you and Kelly Madison -- the June 2006 Miss Danni Girl. I'll keep you, Rokker, Kelly, and Ryan in the loop.

Love ya,

John
